Pintila's place is a great place for walking to anywhere near the river such as the grand palace and wat pho. You can also walk to wat Saket. It is also nice for walking to khao San road but far enough to where you don't have a bunch of tourist around or noise. There are still times you can hear motorbikes and animals around the house early in the morning though. Everything else is about a 20 min taxi ride. Plenty of food options. Wish they would have provided more than one roll of toilet paper. Balconies are awesome. Air conditioner was real cold. Floors a bit slippery especially in socks. They even stored our luggage in another room since our bus didn't leave until that evening. Real nice people.
